Quercetin is commonly used for reducing excessive inflammation and allergies, as well as protecting the cardiovascular system...
One of the most well known bioflavonoids is called quercetin. It is found in varying amounts in fruits, vegetables, leaves and even grains. The name is derived from the Quercus (oak) species of trees, which was the first known source of quercetin. Healthcare practitioners use quercetin in the treatment of allergies, inflammatory conditions, and in the protection of the cardiovascular system.
Bioflavonoids are essential for the proper absorption of Vitamin C. The body cannot produce them directly, so they must be ingested through the diet. These molecules are generally very useful in the protection of the circulatory system by helping to strengthen the vein and artery walls. Bioflavonoids have also been long used to reduce excessive immune responses by inhibiting pro-inflammatory signaling molecules in the body. This helps them be of benefit in the treatment of autoimmune disorders and allergies.
Helps prevent incorrect immune responses like those involved in autoimmune conditions and allergies. In fact, supplementation with quercetin has been shown to stabilize certain immune cells, called mast cells, to prevent their release of histamine. Mast cells release histamine when they come into contact with an allergen. Histamine triggers other immune cells to migrate to the area so that the body mounts an immune response. It is this immune response that is responsible for allergic symptoms such as runny nose and itchy watery eyes.
Can help to protect the vasculature and heart against damage. Some initial research has also found that quercetin can help to reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and also help to reduce blood pressure as well. Some research has come out that contradicts the results of these studies, so further research is required to be sure of these effects.
